Marcus Camby: Worst Tattoos in the NBA

Having the worst tattoos in the NBA is an accomplishment. As long as the Denver Nuggets field a team upper necks will be adorned with girlfriend's cursived names and praying hands holding rosary beads. But, if DBSF were to award just one player with the ignominious distinction of the NBA's worst tattoos it would have to be Portland Trailblazers center, Marcus Camby.

On his right arm, Camby has not one but two Japanese letters. Better yet, the top one actually looks like its quasi-tribal-Japanese lettering. And on the left arm--to remind us that he did play JV high school basketball at one point in his life--Camby has the gratuitous first name "Marcus" curling above a (yes) basketball going through the hoop. Just goes to show you that no matter how much money, or professional athletic success one has, there's something undeniably enticing about getting tatt'd up at the Ocean City boardwalk.
